old movies welp would have to go with a few lets see first the birds and psycho. StarWars an instant classic, Transformers the cartoon nothing funnier than being in the theater when it came out and watching parents freak when some of the autobots dies and thier kids burst out laffing and crying. Highlander and for just the shear scale for a mini-series Shogun.

"The Hustler" was a very good move.

I think that the LOTR movies were very well done. A really good example of they got really close but weren't quite right is a movie I actually got to see last night. Where the Red Fern Grows. I have had the same copy of that book for (like PF's shoes) 20 years. Have read it multiple times. In fact if there is one book in my collection I know better than any other it's that one. They did a fine job on the movie, the overall points of the book were gotten to and well delivered, however they messed up a few scenes from the book, cut some others, changed a few lines here and there. Overall a good movie, but the book is much better.
I would like to say that if you have younger children I would not let them watch the movie unless you think they can handle the idea of death. They included the scene where a young boy, Rubin Pritchard, dies and of course the last two chapters of the book where Bill Coleman and his two dogs fight a mountain lion ultimately killing one dog and the other dies of loss of will to live. At least with the book, you skip these parts.

Yes, the LOTR films were well done, but they failed to capture much of what Professor Tolkien wrote.
Following up on your assessment of “A Few Good Men”, as an excellent Courtroom Drama, I recommend “12 Angry Men”.
